Today may turn into a MD. Just got in to the vacation house late last night, and haven't had a chance to go to the store yet. Thankfully we had coffee! Going to the county fair tonight to hear my cousin sing, so I'll be surrounded by lots of bad food!

B-Coffee

L-There's a lonely can of tuna in the fridge, I wonder if it's expired?

D-I have no idea

you betcha! it's actually called mango diablo, and I save it for DD's b/c a) the caffeine seems to help me and b)I love it so much, it's nice to have a DD treat, KWIM? I have it cold-- brew fresh, pour over ice, sweeten a bit, enjoy.

that would work, but I use a spritz of olive oil (bought a mister for this) or I've used Pam also. Honestly, there's enough water in the cabbage to basically use the pan dry, and it just softens up and it seems to work.

I add some chili/garlic paste, or sriacha, to mine, or even Franks hot sauce.

"One way to begin to see how vastly indulgent we usually are is to fast. One finds out what an astonishing amount of time is spent in the planning, purchasing, preparing, eating, and cleaning up of meals."
- Elisabeth Elliot

indulged in pork rinds, just couldn't work them in yesterday ;-) (55)
egg drop soup (76)

I just made Beeb's DD Pumkin Pie. The crust came out good, had to wet my fingers to mash it around in the pan and even it out. I baked it for about 12 minutes instead of microwaving it. The pudding filling, I added an extra .5cup almond milk and .25tsp. gluc Don't know if I messed it up, it has a funny crust on top. Plan to dig in soon!

The flavor is fabulous and I adore the crust because I like a hard chewy crust ;-) I think the filling could use the addition of some gelatin. Next time, I won't pull the crust up the edges of the pan so much and I'll stick more closely to the recipe, will probably add some gelatin to even out the gluc flavor/texture.

for lunch I made my own version of a homemade Subway Tuna Salad with bell pepper and cucumber, about half the amount of tuna they use, 180

for supper, a Fresco Crunchy Taco from Taco Bell, 140

So, 390, unless I decide to have a little treat, but I don't need it. Sodium is already at 510, and that's enough for a DD, so it will be an ice cream type treat (fudgsicle, maybe) or nothing, to hold sodium low.

Sounds good, stargazer.

Luv2Eat ! oooooooh, pie! (yay) To me, that would be the normal "skin" of the pudding, which is a delicacy among true pudding lovers, LOL!

After eating Beeb's pumkin pie, I'm thinking the addition of another .5 cup almond milk made it too much like pudding. Less would be more - I just can't help myself, find it hard to follow a recipe correctly. I think I'll reduce the cinnamon in the filling to .25 tsp next time though, that's the only change I'll make. Because the filling is so small (but very flavorful), I'm not sure it classifies as a pie - I only spread the crust half way up my small pie pan and it still stuck up. I'm thinking more like a 'pumpkin pizza' in a pie pan is what it reminds me of. Maybe this should go in the dd recipes section?

Well, as I thought today turned into a MD. I did really well most of the day, I had a can of tuna (100) and a yogurt (130), Then I got to the fair! I had a bratt that totally wasn't worth the calories-the ones at the church festival are much better. And a brownie. So I'm guessing maybe 800 calories for the day?
